The text below is from our school's test, and I'm curious which is the right answer and especially the reason why the answer is so.
The question requires you to re-order the parts of the texts (A),(B) and (C) in correct order under the first paragragph.

According to a psychologist, a business executive spends an hour of his day reading, two hours talking and eight hours listening.
(A) Therefore listening well is an exercise of attention and those who listen well tend to have good relationships with colleagues.
(B) Yet in school we spend a large amount of time teaching children how to read, a small amount of time teachingthem how to speak, and usually no time at all teaching them how to listen.
(C) I do not believe it would be a good thing to make what we teach in school exactly proportional to what we do after school, but I do think we would be wise to give our children some instruction in the process of listening.
